Kings Castle Farm

Weekend On The Farm

Tam, homeschooling/homesteading mom to 14 fantastic blessings

------------------------------------

The Big news…Jessica is expecting Twins! They got back from the townhouse yesterday afternoon (picked up my dad & Fran from airport on the way) and gave us the great news. Other than her showing earlier this time around there has been no clue that she might be expecting more than 1 cutie. The lucky girl has had almost no morning sickness, which makes Aja and I quite envious.

Yesterday was an absolutely gorgeous day…hope the 4^th turns out as well w/no afternoon thunderstorms and rain like we’d gotten several days in a row. Aja and Tony went over to dad & Fran’s house to freshen it up and took some of their favorite meals to put in the fridge.

Some other things we did yesterday:

*before 9a.m. routine
*daily maintenance chores
*started batch of cheese
*light morning of school
*made another batch of strawberry jam
*went riding w/Nicole
*a bit of work on the gardens…the weeds loved the rain
*relaxed a bit before taking middles & teens to see a fireworks show at one of the big churches in the city. We considered taking the 2 yr. olds (Angela, Allison and Gabe) but decided to wait another year.

Today we’re going to have a fairly relaxing day w/just basic maintenance chores, pursuing hobbies and messing around w/the animals (one mama goat had her baby 2 days ago!). Oldest dds and hubbies will be heading off to church after breakfast (we alternate wks. of who goes and who stays home w/the Littles).

Basic plan for the day:

*before 9a.m. routine

*daily maintenance chores

*prep meat processing room for doing 20 chickens Monday

*sewing w/Nicole

*groom horses and work w/Percheron

*spend time outside w/middles and Littles

*games and a movie in the evening

Blessings,

Tam

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Hey...do I recognize you from the Sonlight boards? I used to hang around there a year or so ago. My name was 4given or something like that. I was mostly a lurker, but read many of your posts and enjoyed your wisdom (if it was in fact you...I'm almost sure it was!)

Hi! Sounds busy where you are. (sounds fun too!) I just really wanted to thank-you for praying for us concerning the house we are going to make an offer on. You'll never know how much your prayers mean to me.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Twins, twins, twins, and more twins! The Lord surely is blessing your family =)

Best wishes to the new parents and the rest of the family. Sounds like a great family to be born into.
